Sarah;
Sorry to bother you again, but you are not really telling me what would happen 
if I typed doctor in place of d r.
I am trying to deside to accept d r name, all the time, find a better solution 
or omit dr. from my address book altogether.  
I guess d r. is better than drive then the doctors name any time.  It still 
sounds funny.  I never had this problem with 5.1.

Sure, you can enter anything you  would like the BrailleNote to say when it 
prompts "type misspelling".  Unfortunately you can't type more than one word in 
the first field where you type what is mispronounced.
People also don't have to worry about a letter combination being pronounced 
differently because the change only works for hole words.  That does mean that 
if you fix a word, but then come across that word or name with an s at the end 
of it it will be mispronounced as if you hadn't fixed its pronunciation.

I have to say that i like the JAWS pronunciation dictionary the best out of 
what I have used, because it is extremely unpicky about what you put in there.  
I fix multiple words with it, and I have even put the strings of punctuation 
that make up emoticons in the dictionary so they are said. :-)
The BrailleNote's pronunciation dictionary is very limited, but it works for 
most things and fortunately most things are said correctly in the  first place. 
 If you don't want frustration in your life don't get obsessed about fixing the 
pronunciation of bible books.
